Lenovo must become a more efficient company, they want their CEO Yang Yuanqing, and so is going to get to move heaven and earth to get it, of course. For starters will reduce staff by 5%, which are about 3,200 employees. They also come major changes in its two core businesses computers and phones.

The two challenges that lie ahead Lenovo are, firstly, revitalize sales of a declining market such as computers, and secondly, restructure the mobile division to achieve further growth. We remind you that here are a mess between Motorola and Lenovo, which work more or less independently.

Computers are a critical part of Lenovo in the accounts, making 7,300 million 10,700 million entered in the quarter.
Interesting facts about tablets. Business that has sold 2.5 million units, up 3.8%. This would make them stand as the third manufacturer of these products, with a share of 5.8%.

The reins to Motorola

The first thing you have to do is reduce catalog, there are too many phones in the house and possibly overlapping models too. That has to do with Lenovo and Motorola put at the same table and decide jointly what they will do with their new products.
